Evacuation Simulation of Confined Spaces in Petrochemical Facilities
Presentation ; With the development of petrochemical industry, confined space evacuation has been a major safety issue due to the potential fatalities and injuries caused by inadequate emergency responses. In this work, two existing software, BuildingEXODUS and FDS+Evac, were used to simulate the Required Safe Egress Time (REST) in different evacuation environments. Vertical and horizontal storage tanks were constructed by using these two simulation software. Then, different parameters such as occupant load, with and without internal obstruction, and exit size were studied in different simulation scenarios. The simulation results from the software have shown a good agreement with those from the field experiments. It is found that the REST of vertical storage tank is nearly half of that of horizontal storage tank. The work has demonstrated a concept that the fire safety software could be used to simulate evacuations from confined spaces in petrochemical facilities.
